Study Summary

This trial is studying the response rate of patients with multiple myeloma who are receiving selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab, or pomalidomide.

Who is the study for?
Adults with Multiple Myeloma showing disease progression on current treatments including carfilzomib, pomalidomide, or daratumumab can join. They must have good organ function and be able to follow the study's procedures. Pregnant women, those with serious health issues that could affect participation, recent recipients of certain therapies, or individuals with active infections cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Selinexor in combination with either Carfilzomib, Daratumumab or Pomalidomide in patients whose Multiple Myeloma has worsened despite treatment. It aims to see how well patients respond to this mix of drugs until they experience disease progression or unacceptable side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Selinexor may cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss. Carfilzomib can lead to heart problems and shortness of breath; Daratumumab might result in infusion reactions; Pomalidomide carries a risk for blood clots.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are some of the risks associated with Carfilzomib?

"At Power, we rate the safety of Carfilzomib as a 2. That's because, while there is some evidence that it is safe, Phase 2 trials have not yet demonstrated efficacy."

Answered by AI

What outcome is this experiment designed to produce?

"The primary goal of this 30-month clinical trial is to observe the Overall Response Rate (ORR) in patients who receive selinexor, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone concurrently. Additionally, researchers will be measuring for Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and Time To Next Treatment (TTNT) as secondary objectives."

Answered by AI

Are there any other published papers on Carfilzomib's effects?

"Carfilzomib was first studied 18 years ago at Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Program CancerCare Manitoba. So far, 1208 studies have been completed while 688 are still recruiting patients. New jersey's Hackensack has a high concentration of these active trials."

Answered by AI

What disorders has Carfilzomib been shown to improve?

"Carfilzomib is frequently used to treat ophthalmia, but it can also be employed to manage communicable diseases and branch retinal vein occlusion."

Answered by AI

How many individuals are being recruited for this research project?

"Yes, the trial is currently looking for 96 participants across 2 sites, as reflected on clinicaltrials.gov. The listing was first posted on March 16th, 2021 and updated February 3rd, 2022."

Answered by AI

Are there any current vacancies in this clinical trial for new patients?

"The answer is affirmative. The clinical trial in question, which was originally posted on March 16th 2021 and updated February 3rd of this year, is still looking for 96 individuals across 2 sites."
